Who Wins America's Next Top Model Season 9
Alright, let’s dish! We're diving into the whirlwind that was Season 9 of America's Next Top Model, where drama and Tyra-isms were always on the menu.
Remember the Ladies?
Think back to those hopeful faces! We had Lisa Jackson, the quirky, edgy artist; Saleisha Stowers, the confident, relatable beauty; and the unforgettable, uh, unique personalities vying for the top spot.
The competition was fierce, filled with photoshoots that ranged from the sublime to the straight-up bizarre. Remember the naked-with-chocolate shoot? Classic ANTM!

The Twists and Turns
Season 9 was full of surprises, from unexpected eliminations to challenges that made you scratch your head. Who can forget the acting challenges that clearly proved not everyone is meant for Hollywood?
There were friendships, there were feuds, and there was definitely a lot of hairspray. You know, the usual ANTM recipe!
So, Who Actually Won?
Drumroll, please! The winner of Season 9 was…Saleisha Stowers! Yep, the bubbly girl with the winning smile took home the crown (or, you know, the contract with CoverGirl).
Her journey wasn't without its critics. Some viewers thought she was given an unfair advantage due to her prior connection with Tyra Banks through a youth program.
But hey, a win is a win, right?
Did She "Make It"?
The million-dollar question: what happened after the confetti settled? This is where things get a little less glamorous.
While Saleisha did land some modeling gigs, her career didn't exactly explode into superstardom. The modeling world is a tough one, even with the ANTM seal of approval.
She's done some acting, though, which is cool. You might have spotted her on TV!
The Real Winner? Maybe…Us?
Okay, hear me out. Maybe the real winner of America's Next Top Model isn't always the person who walks away with the prize. It's us, the viewers!
We get to witness the epic highs and lows, the fashion disasters, and the incredibly quotable moments. “We were rooting for you!” still echoes in our minds.
Think about it: where else can you see someone try to smize while balancing on a precarious platform in high heels? Television gold!
A Look Back With Love (and a Little Side-Eye)
Season 9 of ANTM was a wild ride. It had its questionable moments, its unforgettable characters, and its fair share of drama.
Whether you were Team Lisa or Team Saleisha (or secretly rooting for someone else entirely), it was definitely a season that kept us talking.
So, next time you’re feeling nostalgic, pop in the DVDs (or stream it, because who owns DVDs anymore?). Remember the Tyra Mail, the runway walks, and the endless supply of "fierce." It's a guaranteed trip down memory lane.
And remember, even if Saleisha wasn’t the next super-supermodel, she won the competition fair and square. Plus, she gave us some great TV moments along the way. That's a win in our book!
